Meet Jessica.
Academic expertise, grounded in the needs of each learner.
Jessica C., founder of SpanishAid, holds a bachelor’s degree and two master’s degrees: an M.A. in Latin American Studies from Stanford University and an M.A. in Spanish, with an emphasis in Latin American Literature, from San Francisco State University. During her graduate studies, she taught university-level Spanish courses.
Her experience spans public and private education, corporate settings, and independent academic consulting. She supports students from foundational Spanish through AP Spanish Language and Culture and AP Spanish Literature and Culture, and advises schools and organizations on curriculum development and program assessment.
Her approach connects clear explanations and structured practice with speaking, reading, listening, and writing. Lessons begin with the learner’s course, questions, and goals.
